If you are looking for a rewarding opportunity and to volunteer within an epic team that will help you grow and thrive, then you have come to the right place. Volunteering within our Self-Harm Network service you can start your day knowing what you do really does make a difference

We are looking to expand our team with a network of volunteers who add value to the work that we do. Your unique knowledge and understanding gained from managing your own mental health challenges will all be called upon; we recognize and value how transferable and insightful learning from previous life experiences can be. With passion, and compassion, you will bring authenticity and positivity to finding ways to empower people.

Self-Harm is a very personal response to a complex range of factors which may include dealing with emotional pain, feeling disconnected, trauma or feeling stressed. We work closely with people who are struggling with their self-harm, as well as involving their personal networks. Through understanding the functions of self-harm, we explore coping strategies and build self-esteem.

As a volunteer, you will support our staff to operate an online web chat that is there to support people who self-harm. Helping to ensure the chat operates smoothly and offers a reassuring presence to people as they work through their experience of Self-Harm. The chat operates between 6pm-10pm, 7 days a week.

You don’t need to have any previous experience to volunteer; just a positive attitude and a desire to promote good mental health and wellbeing for people who self-harm.

We are particularly interested in volunteers who have lived experience of self-harm and can share and model their own experience of recovery and hope.

As a mental health charity, we really value the wellbeing of our colleagues. That’s why we want you to know that you’ll be joining a friendly team, who will give you a supportive environment to help you thrive in your role, including all the training you need to feel confident and equipped.

Volunteering with Penumbra, we can promise you’ll be inspired by some pretty amazing humans every single day. We want you to grow and thrive We will support you on your own individual volunteering path, helping you to gain experience and develop new skills.
